Discover the beauty and secrets of South Carolina’s lowcountry waterways, home to Spanish moss, marsh grasses, blackwater and abundant wildlife. Paddle on salt creeks, blackwater rivers and woodland swamps as you study the culture of the lowcountry and observe species of birds and wildflowers visible only from the water.

Highlights

• Beginning and intermediate paddlers will explore history first-hand from the water, meandering through salt marshes, past cypress trees, or under stately live oaks.
• Enjoy delicious contemporary takes on lowcountry fare like Lowcountry Boil, Chicken Bog, or collards, prepared by a local chef!
• Relax and learn with various evening activities: study SC by Map, meet a sweetgrass basket maker, or hear stories from the lowcountry--there's something different every night.
